Steven Wilson - The Raven That Refused To Sing (And Other Stories) (CD)
The Raven That Refused to Sing (And Other Stories) is the third solo album by Steven Wilson, released in February 2013. Each track is based on a story of the supernatural. Alan Parsons was responsible for engineering the album.
“The title track explores the story of an old man at the end of his life who is waiting to die. He thinks back to a time in his childhood when he was incredibly close to his older sister. She was everything to him, and he was everything to her. Unfortunately, she died when they were both very young. The man becomes convinced that a raven, who visits the man’s garden, is something of a symbol or a manifestation of his sister. The thing is, his sister would sing to him whenever he was afraid or insecure, and it was a calming influence on him. In his ignorance, he decides that if he can get the raven to sing to him, it will be the final proof that this is, in fact, his sister who has come back to take him with her to the next life.” – Steven Wilson
